Human Mental Workload

The scientific programme of WORKLOAD 2017 will consist of regular and technical contributions reviewed and selected by an international programme committee, as well as keynote talks and tutorials given by leading experts in their fields.

The symposium aims to become the premier event for discussion of emerging research on mental workload and its models and applications. It will bring together researchers and practitioners from different disciplines including human factors, computer science, psychology, education, and neuroscience and provide a mechanism for the exchange of ideas and technologies between a worldwide audience of academics and industrial scientists.

We solicit submissions on previously unpublished research work on human mental workload covering all disciplines and domains. Example areas include but are not limited to:
– Mental workload theory and frameworks
– Measurement of mental workload
– Mental workload in context
– Applications of mental workload in practice
– Mental workload in safety critical domains

All accepted speakers must register for the conference to be included in the final program and proceedings. Please refer to the website for forthcoming announcements on keynote speakers and information on registration and travel.
